Progress in Mekedatu is all in department files and nothing to lie, karjol

Terming the Congress’s padayatra from Mekedatu ‘a stunt for publicity’, Water Resources Minister Govind Karjol on Wednesday said that the Congress had no genuine intention for the implementation of the project. “Even during the Sindhgi byelections, Congress leaders, including Siddaramaiah, belittled Dalit leaders and voters taught them a good lesson by electing a BJP candidate,” he alleged. The Minister said that while the Congress came to power in 2013 by undertaking a padayatra in Krishna basin, it didn’t do justice to Krishna basin districts. It spent just about ₹2,370 crore on upper Krishna project 3,” he added He said documents in the department have details about what the BJP has done.
